STUDY ABROAD 2023

In early May 2023, 14 excited students boarded a red-eye flight to Los Angeles. “What does LA have to do with study abroad?” you may ask. The region has 2 of the largest ports in North America and thus visiting the Port of Los Angeles, the Port of Long Beach, and the Alameda Corridor gave the students perspective and context for what they would see abroad. Led by Assistant Professor Alison Romain of the GBAT Department and Senior Lecturer Ira Breskin of Humanities, the ITT juniors, Patrick Bartoletta, Carolina Bersani, Jake Cosgrove, Alexandros Demetriades, Joseph Ferrante, Sean Hussey, Bakary Kone, Charlie Lucchese, James Mastro, John Ohanian, CarlosJaime Pastrana, Tyrel Ross, Cheyenne Snyder, and Darren Walsh, next headed to Asia for a 28-day intensive exploration of culture and international trade. After 4 days in Los Angeles, the group visited Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, Seoul, and Busan, meeting with a total of 24 organizations, ports, and universities to learn about international shipping, port and terminal operations, economics, supply chain, logistics, manufacturing, strategic planning, research & development, admiralty law, and international relations and regulations. Cultural activities were also included in each city.
